Must have been some funky beet recipes going around when we were kids or maybe you really are my sister. :-) Shirley- OK, time to give beets a try. They taste so good roasted.

I'll have to give that a try for sure. I really like the yellow beets. If you start asking your grocer for them, they might start carrying them. Sometimes they can also check to see if they can special order them. Vee- I like the sound of that cake. I'll have to give that a try for sure. I really like the yellow beets.

I love beets but don't cook with them all that often because of the long roasting time and the staining factor...but this recipe looks like a "must try." Normally I just shred them like carrots and add them raw to salads and collard wraps. One of my favorite quick ways to use beet greens is simply sauteing them in a bit of olive oil with a generous amount of chopped garlic and some crushed red pepper flakes. Beautiful salad!
